lyrics:
I've been chasing the pavement,
I've been sleeping with strangers,
dealing in danger,
passing by faces so cold

I've been running to places,
I've been broken and nameless,
hopeless and shamed,
I've never been so low

Zoom out to everything
Zoom into me
Zoom out to tragedy
Zoom into me

Can you hear me out there
Can you help me I'm scared
Can you lift me, can you give me
a sign
Can you beat back the night
Can you make things alright
Can you hold me, can you show me
the light

All alone in the basement
Where it's always the same and
Nothing can change and no one can see
me cry

I don't know how to face it
I don't know how to name it, know who to blame but
nothing seems alright

Zoom out to everything
Zoom into me
Zoom out to tragedy
Zoom in to me

Can you hear me out there
Can you help me I'm scared
Can you lift me, can you give me
a sign
Can you beat back the night
Can you make things alright
Can you hold me, can you show me
the light

(Humming)

Can you hear me out there
Can you help me I'm scared
Can you lift me, can you give me
a sign
Can you beat back the night
Can you make things alright
Can you hold me, can you show me
the light

Can You Hear Me

Lyrics: 

We Have To Discover

Like a cabin in the middle of nowhere
In the void you’re my bottle of air
You’ve been the one and only
That took care
Saw the pain we share

You gave me your hand and you led me
To a whole world, you were the key
After years spent in prison
My heart beats
And my chest feels free

You taught me that I’ve been right
When my shadow in the mirror said that I was wrong
And even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

I can let it go, let it pass by
No more wonderin’ why
Oh we have to discover
The storm’s eye
To find the wide blue sky

You taught me that I’ve been right
When my shadow in the mirror said that I was wrong
And even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

You taught me that I’ve been right
When my shadow in the mirror said that I was wrong
And even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

Even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

Oh Steady - Wild Side

Earlier this year we got together with our friend and producer, Justin Abel, for a few days to record some stripped down, alternate versions of songs from Ghost Talker. The sessions were very simple and relaxed, mostly just the two of us, a piano and a guitar. Seeing these songs in a new light was inspiring, without any production, just the bare bones.

Shadowboxing - Acoustic

In this time of isolation, we’ve all distanced ourselves from each other. So think of this as a letter to you, found in a bottle that floated thousands of miles, and a hundred oceans just to reach you. 

You’ve got a thousand pictures of yourself as a kid, all those stupid haircuts, that one party where your mum said you look extra handsome or pretty, but let’s be honest the outfit sucked. In that photo you see someone who used to be your best friend, your neighbour, your role model, your first love.

You think of all the things they accomplished, all the good they brought into this world, and how they grew without you around, and vice versa. As time passed, you forgot about them, and you brought new people into your life. You wonder if they did the same. Did they ever do the things they set out to do? Did they get their fairy tale wedding? Are they happy?

I’ve often revisited my past, and that’s where I find a lot of the inspiration for my music. After going through many moments in my own past, I managed to find many pictures with people I’d forgotten along the way, and many people that made me happy. One such memory was a picture with my friend Madeline, at my mum’s very first art exhibition, more than 24 years ago. We were neighbours and looking at the image I thought about all that she might’ve become in the time that we spent apart. 

This is a simple song, from my bedroom, to your ears. A simple letter, knowing that while you’re not around, you’re always fondly remembered. May this distance bring us, ever closer together.

Lyrics:

Do You wander close?
Or far sometimes?
Will you hold me close?
Dear Madeline
How does this go deep?
Do we fall aline?
On the day We meet
Dear Madeline
Would you follow me
Like you were mine

With every day that passes
Along the haze
Isn’t it natural

Hardly waiting for answers
Beyond my age
Isn’t it natural?

Complicated
Nobody waited
Where were you taken?
Dear Madeline
No one’s spoken
I wish you were broken
Left without aching
Dear Madeline

Did you call on me?
When you were mine
Where the flowers meet
Are we dandelions?
Where the whispers sleep?
On the silent isles
I’ll be waiting there
Dear Madeline
Don’t forget me there
Dear Madeline

Come and play
With a chance
To win the rain
Isn’t it Natural?

Would you save
Me a dance?
I’m on my way
Isn’t it natural?

Sail away
Sail away, little child
I’m awake
When your dreams turn you down
Have no fear
Like I said when you dream
I’m awake
I’m awake

Complicated
Nobody waited
Where were you taken?
Dear Madeline
No one’s spoken
I wish you were broken
Left without aching
Dear Madeline

lyrics:
The summer night
The fading light
the perfect place
the perfect time
to take you somewhere we both want to go

A starry drive
In mid july 
park the car turn off the lights
and venture through a field all on our own

The birds they sang a melody
My heart was keeping time and we
were dancing on the edge of something new

Slow at first but now it seems
that we’ll go down in history 
as lovers from the start just me and you

I’ve spent a thousand nights
lost in your emerald eyes
Lost in a place where I know you can see my soul

Make me lose track of time
you and your emerald eyes
suddenly feels like I have finally found a home

a subtle breeze
It’s you and me
chest to chest, no in between
and every moment’s better than the last

anything and everything
that I could every want or need 
is standing right beside me in the grass

The birds they sang a melody
My heart was keeping time and we
were dancing on the edge of something new

Slow at first but now it seems
that we’ll go down in history 
as lovers from the start just me and you

(humming)

I’ve spent a thousand nights
lost in your emerald eyes
Lost in a place where I know you can see my soul

Make me lose track of time
you and your emerald eyes
suddenly feels like I have finally found a home
